Hey, did anyone else notice that the wingnuts aren't on here today with the "teleprompter" comments. More evidence of the whipping they took from a very articulate and fast on his feet president last night.

Or maybe from women who don't believe their name being added to a binder full of women candidates applying for a job or them getting a flexible schedule once hired on a job is a substitute for getting equal pay as a man for doing that same job.

The truth about Romney’s “binders full of women”
More evidence Romney's "binders full of women" claim is backwards
By Alex Seitz-Wald

In the moment memed round the world, Mitt Romney said in last night’s debate that when he was governor of Massachusetts he had his staff compile “binders of women” for him to pour over in order to find qualified candidates for top jobs in his administrations. As we noted this morning, a Boston journalist has already pointed out that that’s not true, and now we have some more evidence that Romney is misremembering the history. ... continues...

I guess he had his binders on. Or, ... judging from the grimace on his face, maybe the tighty whities were too tight?

Here here, I'm not saying that Obama, sincerely doesn't want to be President again, since he does, but Romney, seems to have an mentality unhealthy obsession of needing to be the President.

Unfortunately, I fell asleep before the debate, so I only tuned in at about 9:30 but I was able to see most of it today. I don't think it was a slam-dunk, but IMO Obama won the second debate on temperament and substance. The very first question was about jobs. Romney kept saying "I'll create jobs" but he never once said how he would do it. Just like his tax plan, he keeps saying what he will do but not how he will do it. Obama was very specific about manufacturing, energy, incentives for businesses to stay in the United States, education & training, and so on. Were you watching the debate on mute?

That's what you think huh? I guess as long as you don't hurt yourself you can think what you wish.


I think women want Equal Pay. I don't think women care about your knight in shining armor fantasy. I think they'd rather have the money and let you keep your fantasy's and illusions.

I guess someone can brag about his term as Governor and his supporters won't check the facts. Last night he talked about all the women he sought for high ranking positions in his cabinets. Well, that isn't really true.

In fact, the number of women in high level positions DECLINED during his 4 years and was much less when he left office.

Another lie.

I wonder if, while this was happening, Governor Romney saw it happening and went around the office with his angry-Mitt face shouting:

ALRIGHT, WHO FRICKIN' STOLE MY BINDER FULL OF WOMEN!!!!!!!???????
